Echelle grating

An echelle spectrometer has one low groove density grating (echelle) and one high groove density grating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echelle_grating After the echelle grating there will be many orders … On the spectrogram, In vertical directions are the different orders from the low groove density echelle grating. In horizontal is the dispersion from the high groove density grating. …

Spectrograph difference between cross disperses and echelle gratings?

In echelle spectrographs, the presence of echelle gratings and cross-dispersers is common. What task does each one perform? Why are the cross-dispersers needed? …

Collimation issue with an DIY echelle spectrograph

I am trying to make an educational echelle spectrograph using easily available materials, basically in a cardboard box. … Simply illuminate the echelle and view it via prism. The problem starts with any other light source such as a fluorescent lamp. …

Importance of high order separation in Echelle spectrometers?

I've been reading on the subject and constantly find that in astronomy Echelle spectrometers are used. I've also found that greater order separation favors long slit spectroscopy. Why is this? …

Importance of high order separation in Echelle spectrometers?

Thus you cannot do "long slit" echelle spectroscopy unless you have a large order separation in the vertical direction. … The picture below shows an echellogram for the bHROS echelle spectrograph on the Gemini S telescope. The cross-disperser is a set of fused silica prisms. …

Identifying the spectral lines of helium

Using one of my homemade echelle spectrographs and a helium discharge tube, here is the two dimensional spectrum, called an echellogram, that I acquired for the light from a helium discharge tube: The … This just makes it easier to see where the spectral lines are located in the echelle grating’s diffraction orders. …

How can things around us have different colours if they have specific emission spectra?

So, collecting light from the energized hydrogen discharge tube, and dispersing it using one of my homemade echelle spectrographs results in the following two dimensional spectrum (an echellogram): I … Each is present twice, in consecutive echelle grating orders, as a consequence of how echelle spectrographs may operate. …

Echelle grating

One echelle grating will mix up all the wavelengths because at a position where there is a maximum for the $25^{\rm th}$ order “red” of wavelength $800 \,\rm nm$ there may be a maximum for the $50^{\rm …

Wavelength of blue filtered light

The next photo shows how the white light from the flashlight is input to the fiber optic and collimator of a homemade echelle spectrograph. … The echelle spectrograph disperses the light arriving through its fiber optic input cable and produces an echellogram, i.e., a two dimensional spectrum. …
